Footsteps echoed through the hall followed by short slightly heavy breaths as Midoriya sped walked through the halls after sprinting to the school from the train.

is gonna kill me…

He thought as he faced the classroom door, trying to calm down his breathing. He didn't really know what time it was, he was hoping his teacher was already taking his nap and the class was just joking around but he knew he got his hopes up for nothing as he slid the door open slowly.

He felt every pair of eyes fall on him and the room go completely silent as the door fully opened, his heart rate went through the roof as everyone just stared at him.

"S-Sorry I'm late! I-I had m-missed the first train…" Midoriya said quickly with a hint of nervousness in his voice as he bowed.

"I don't care just go to your seat."

Midoriya glanced up as he heard Aizawa's emotionless voice.

Every pair of eyes still rested on him as he nodded quickly and scurried to his seat.

As soon as he landed in it he set down his bag and Aizawa went back to talking, but Izuku didn't really even hear him. It just sounded muffled as he gripped his wrist tightly to calm his trembling hands.

Normally he wouldn't mind having so much attention on him, the sports festival had helped ease that fear even, but...this week was not the week for attention...if anything he just wanted to sit at home alone all week.

He continued to grip his wrist as he kept his eyes down and closing them. He felt his mind get foggy and blank, Aizawa's words just went through one ear and out the other.

Hours seemed to go by but after just a few minutes he felt someone flick his forehead making him look up to face Bakugou.

"K-Kacchan…"

"Like hell you missed the train, I always find you there 20 minutes early."Bakugou growled at him. Midoriya flinched slightly and glanced around, people were sitting in groups and talking, Aizawa was taking his nap so that technically meant it was social time.

"I-I just slept in…"

Midoriya said smiling nervously, he tensed as he heard Bakugou click his tongue.

"What's wrong with your wrist Deku." He growled a little loud. Midoriya flinched and glanced down, seeing that he was still gripping his wrist tightly.

Quickly releasing it he smiled and laughed nervously.

"K-Kacchan nothing i-is wrong I swear! So d-don't worry!" He said shaking his hands quickly.

"Deku I swear to God if your cu-"

"W-Well I'm gonna g-go ask I-Iida what I m-missed! B-Bye Kacchan!"

Midoriya said quickly, slamming his hands on his desk before Bakugou could finish his sentence and quickly walking over to Iida and Ochako.

"Was Bakugou being a jerk to you Deku?!" Ochako asked as soon as Midoriya arrived over to his friends.

He laughed a little and rubbed the back of his head.

"No we were just talking about something…"

Something he knew Ochako would flip out about if she knew.

"I'm surprised you were late Midoriya, your usually very early or right on time." Iida said gesturing with his hands like he normally does.

"Like I said I had just missed the train because I slept in."

Midoriya hated to lie to his friends but he knew he'd never tell them about any of this.

"Had you stayed up late last night Deku?"

"Yeah I didn't really get the homework."

"You could have called us for help Midoriya."

"Yeah but it was pretty late…"

Midoriya loved this, being able to talk to people normal without being made fun of, talking to people who didn't beat him up afterwards, people who didn't give him notes telling him to kill himself.

He listened and talked with his friends and glanced back at Bakugou and smiled lightly. He knew his aggressive childhood friend was worried about him, though he'd never admit it, he also would get incredibly pissed whenever someone besides him beat him up or told him to kill himself or anything along those lines.

"Wait Deku you are going to be taking place in the rescue training right?"

Midoriya snapped back to reality and looked at her.

"Rescue training?" He asked quietly.

"You weren't here for the information but after lunch Class 1-A will be taking place in disaster training to make up for the training we missed when the League of Villains attacked." Midoriya felt himself flinch when Iida mentioned the group, he reached up and touched the bruises on his neck. It had been about two days since Shigaraki had left the bruises and threatened the entire mall of people.

"S-Sounds great!" Midoriya said smiling nervously, he must've still been touching the bruises because Ochako noticed and her face saddened slightly.

"They said they're beefing up security this time. So don't worry about it okay?" She said in a soft tone and smiling slightly. Midoriya flinched and quickly brought his hand to his side as he nodded with a fake smile plastered on his face.

Ochako simply nodded and smiled even brighter now.

"Maybe you should go see recovery girl if the bruises are bothering you." Iida said placing a hand on his shoulder, making Midoriya flinch and grit his teeth slightly.

"I-I really am fine…" He began and stepped out of arm length so Iida's hand fell off his shoulder. "They aren't b-bothering me, just whenever someone t-touches them it aches a little." He finished with a stammering voice, he ignored the stinging and throbbing his shoulder gave off to him and gave a nervous smile.

Iida and Ochako glanced at each other but smiled back and nodded.

His shoulder kept throbbing but he attempted to ignore it, the small shoulder squeeze from Iida couldn't have been enough…

"I-I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick…" Midoriya said quickly, leaving the room before Ochako or Iida could ask questions.

He sprinted to the nearest bathroom and locked himself in a stall, gritting his teeth and holding his shoulder to attempt to bear with the pain.

I-I just have to make sure it's not bleeding…

He thought as he undid his uniform and lowered it down so just his shoulders were visible.

He glanced at the side of his shoulder and sighed in pain.

God Dammit...
